Setting up WordPress.com VIP Development Environment with EasyEngine (Nginx)

Hey there, As you know VIP Quickstart has been deprecated recently. Here is some easy way to get started with VIP development, We hope soon EasyEngine will V4 launch with VIP support but for now, lets do all thing manually.
You need Ubuntu 14 / 16 LTS with sudo access also we need svn and git installed.

For Started let’s install easy engine if you don’t already have one Open Terminal

wget -qO ee rt.cx/ee && sudo bash ee # install EasyEngine

Next step create a multisite website

ee site create example.com --wpsubdom

save username and password somewhere for safekeeping, We are ready with inital setup for VIP now let’s make site real VIP 😉
The user www-data has write acess to /var/www/ folder so lets switch user with following command

If you have a theme ready for project lets put that in wp-content/themes/vip/{your-theme}. If you don’t have theme ready right now lets put one of WordPress default theme to VIP directory by simply moving that to VIP directory
